I really enjoyed Your Sister’s Sister.

He was great in the Life Aquatic.

Ghost Dog? really? Huh.

Love this band.

I actully only went to one show this year, but it was a pretty good one: The Afghan Whigs and Built to Spill, with Ed Harcourt opening. I wasn’t familiar with Harcourt, but he’s a strong talent with a good bantering stage presence; sitting down at the piano for one song, he found that it was on a buzzing synthesizer…

Whenever names (or naming babies) comes up, I always think of this old SNL skit where Nick Cage goes crazy trying to come up with a name for his soon to be born child.

This playlist is invalid as it does not include Eye Know.

wow they really robbed Atlanta huh? I guess it is the season for it

“Rock Steady,” because I like Funk more than I like Soul.

more like Mrs. Featherbottom.

I am not here to debate the weirdness of white people. That has been thoroughly established.

Parks and Rec, quite frankly, indulged Tom considerably more than it should have. But B99 starts challenging a lot of Jake’s character by about midway through first season. He drove me crazy in the early part of the show, but the series does a lot in successive seasons to put to the test his selfishness and…

Nah P&R’s first season was a lot rougher than B99s. I enjoyed B99 from the get-go. Parks took until the Ron/Tammy episode in season 2 to completely reel me in. 

Same. This scene in particular from the original is one of my favorite in modern film

Yeah, that’s a good ‘un. Also, if we’re talking 1993 jazz-rap, obligatory shout-out to Digable Planets’ “Reachin’.”

If Exile in Guyville is an A+ album (and for my money, it is), then Whip-Smart and Whitechocolatespaceegg are As.

I’d add “The Great Shark Hunt” to that as well- there’s some incredibly good writing in there, especially his San Francisco/Berkeley stuff.

It really is fantastic. But I think my favourite part of it is that it isn't only pure joy; that part of the middle 8 where they sing "I looooove you" sounds resigned in a way that tinges the song with melancholy.
